I never read the book but the movie was pretty good. I thought it was well acted, shot and directed. I thought the main actor was great in the title role. She really played up the cleverness yet innocence of a kid free to do whatever he/she wants even in the face of adversity such as being ditched in an unfamiliar place. While it's lighthearted when it gets dark it does it so well to where it's not overkill. Heidi sleepwalking due to being homesick was sad and well acted. I won't give away the ending but I will say it was very heartfelt and wraps up the film pretty well. With that being said i'd say check it out especially if you're learning german.
